  • LIQUEFIER ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20240227293
    Abstract: The invention relates to a liquefier assembly (1) for an additive manufacturing system. The assembly (1) includes a heat sink (2), a nozzle (3) releasably connected to the heat sink (2) and a heater (4) connected to the heat sink (2) by a coil spring (5). The nozzle (3) has a 5 nozzle tip (31) at one end and the heater (3) is between the nozzle tip (31) and the heat sink (2) when the nozzle (3) is connected to the heat sink (2) and is biased away from the heat sink (2), toward the nozzle tip (31) and into thermal contact with a surface of the nozzle (3).
